I know what you said. It's your blanket assertion that the topic is interesting that wrinkled my nose.

Bleat Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 26 minutes ago, nilorius said: I didn't say just interesting, but Interesting Is that like "I'm not saying it was aliens...but it was aliens" In answer to the question - what would I pay for that? About as much as a typical knackered, butchered, hack job defret of a bass that can be found on ebay, so maybe £50-£75 at most. Why would I pay ££££'s for something when my very own shitty, knackered bass has way more personal value and playability to me (and also a true part of its journey through life).

Happy Jack Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 What so few people realise is that the Bass Of Doom only worked properly when connected to the Amp Of Doom using the appropriate Cable Of Doom. Not sure what the position is regarding the Electricity Of Doom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I'm showing my Jaco ignorance here, but why is it called 'The Bass of Doom'? Wouldn't 'The Bass of Bibbidy BipBip Burp, Ber Diddle Diddle Dup' be a better name? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also, of course, have to be played by the hands of doom, hardwired to the mind of doom to hear it as the gods of doom intended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really a fan of Jaco so I wouldn't pay anything - not that I could afford it anyway! I must admit, I was always a bit baffled by the "Bass of Doom" name as well 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowdown Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 As much as I like Jaco and his contribution to the world of Music and Bass, I've no interest in blowing money on the 'Bass of Doom'. However, owning 'Triggers Broom of Doom' is another matter altogether. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
